Chapter 741(2/2)
Regardless of the wound, Leader took out the flint he carried with him and struck it tremblingly and clumsily.
Boom, boom, boom, after three sounds, finally, a spark appeared. It jumped onto the flammable straw, quickly turned into a bright flame, and was passed to several pine torches...
"He is a rebel. Even if he talks nicely, we cannot disobey him and his family members in Guanzhong will be implicated!"
The unknown leader glanced at the few short-hand guards, and everyone nodded. When the sound of banging on the door became louder and louder outside, he threw the fire into the pyre in the corner...
The flames grew bigger on the firewood pile, jumped up to the pillars and beams, and finally set the entire sentry tower on fire!
Accompanied by shrill screams, flames bloomed on the sentry tower, lighting up a corner of the night. This huge candle could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles!
…
"General Yang, look!"
In the Wuchang camp a few miles away, Yang Xiong summoned the 4,000 soldiers he brought and the 1,000 short-soldier guards from Xinyi. The group left behind 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expedition Army who were still kept in the dark and left from Wuchang.
Evacuate from the north gate of the camp.
Being summoned by his personal guards, Yang Xiong turned around and saw the flames burning on Yellow Crane Mountain in the distance...
"Commander Zheng, that's great. Even if you can't burn all the weapons, armor and arrows in the arsenal, you can at least notify Xiakou on the other side of the attack on the Wuchang camp immediately..."
The Xiakou garrison arrived just a few days ago. Although there are only three thousand, it is still better than nothing.
There were tears in Yang Xiong's eyes, but then they turned cold.
"It reminds me that although we have to concentrate our forces and surrender the dock, we can't just leave like this!"
He turned around, looked at the camp where 30,000 people were stationed, and gave a crazy order!
"Light a fire and burn the Wuchang Camp and the 30,000 people inside!"
Xin Yi was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse: "General Yang, these are thirty thousand people, and they are all Qin soldiers!"
Yang Xiong sneered: "Most of them are from Jianghuai and Chu, who are they from Qin?"
"And after a while, they will no longer be soldiers of the imperial court, but thieves and bandits."
Yang Xiong's face was a little ferocious:
"Even if they can't be burned to death, I would rather let these 30,000 people flee and become dead and remnant bandits than let them rebel here and strengthen the rebel army!"
…
"Junhou, look!"
Dongmen Bao and others were still counting weapons in the arsenal, asking the soldiers to change their uniforms, and replenishing arrows. Wu Chen pointed at the Wuchang Camp in the distance and shouted loudly.
"I saw it."
Hei Fu stood at the foot of Yellow Crane Mountain. The fire in the sentry tower behind him was not extinguished, but in the Wuchang Camp in the distance, an even bigger flame broke out!
The fire started from the northern part of the camp. Even though the structure was reasonable, the camps were separated by a certain distance, and there were even fire-proof gullies, it still spread to some camps because it was set ablaze everywhere.
In the huge military camp, screams and screams can be heard endlessly. Red fire, yellow fire, and orange fire are like bouquets of flowers blooming in the night sky, competing with each other to bloom. Anyway, there is no one on guard. People keep escaping from the military camp, looking around in confusion.
.
"It's really cruel. Of course, this kind of fire cannot burn all 30,000 people to death, but it is enough to make them panic and run away. Even if I go over now, it will be good if I can gather half of them..."
Heifu shook his head: "Yang Xiong, I still underestimated you!"
"General, what should we do now?" Wu Chen was a little anxious. That fire destroyed their plan.
"it's useless."
Heifu got on the horse and said, "Yang Xiong thought that the fire he lit was to burn out the danger and use it to remedy the situation, but little did he know that he was actually playing with fire!"
He laughed in the firelight.
"Now, I don't need to incite you. For those 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expedition, it's clear who treats them like nothing, who cherishes them as innocent children, who wants to kill them, and who will save them!"
After saying this, Heifu shouted:
"Pe, raise the flag."
"promise!"
The big five hundred masters struggled to carry Heifu's flag, and hundreds of personal guards also rode horses captured from the arsenal to guard Heifu's left and right sides.
Heifu urged the war horses and led them towards the place where the flames were the strongest, and towards the place where people were most panicked and at a loss what to do!
"Come with me."
"Let everyone reunite under my flag!"
"Go and take this fire, and then hold it up high, so that the whole world can see it! The first rebellion has begun, and it will surely burn like a fire in the original place, and it cannot go anywhere near!"
